Upsets can feel so random.
Why, for instance, is Tennessee able to beat Wright State by 26 points on Thursday while Gonzaga barely squeaked by UNC Greensboro? Wright State came in as a 14 seed, and UNCG a 13 seed – could one spot make that big of a difference?
The Cincinnati Bearcats hope to avoid Gonzaga’s fate, and easily dispatch of Georgia State when they face off in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Friday.
Georgia State enters the game winners of four straight, including the Sun Belt Conference tournament championship. Prior to that four-game winning streak they had lost four of their previous five games.
